24  The  teeth  of  cruel  beafts  I  will, 

upon  them  fend  alfo  : 
The  poifon  of  the  ferpents  too, 

which  on  the  dull  do  go. 
2$  The  fword  without  and  dread  within 

young  men  and  maids  bereave  ; 
Which  neither  fliall  the  fucking  babe, 

nor  hoary-headed  leave. 

26  And  into  corners  I  did  fay, 

that  I  would  fcatter  them  ; 
I'll  their  remembrance  make  to  ceafe

ij  But  that  1  fear'd  their  enemie's  wrath 

their  foes  thereat  would  ftrange; 
And  fay,  our  high  hand,  not  the  Lord, 

it  is,  wrought  all  this  change. 

28  For  they're  a  nation  counfellefs 

nor  underftanding  find,

their  latter  end  would  mind.

Jehovah  fhut  up  quite. 

31  Becaufe  their  rock  unto  our  rock, 
is  not  to  be  compar'd, 

Yea,  though  our  enemies  tbemfelves 
as  judges  fhould   be  heard. 

32  For  their  vine  is  of  Sodom's  vin-e, 
and   of  Gomorrah's  field  ; 

Their  grapes  are  grapes  of  gall  to  them 
they   bitter  clufters  yield,  33

Tor  their  wo-day  is  nigh,  and  ibon

36  Becaufe  the  Lord  his  folk  fhall  judge, 
for's  iervants  he'l  repent, 

When  none  lhut  up  or  \q£c  he  fees, 
and  that  their  power  is  fpent. 

37  And  he  lhall  fay,  thofe  gods  of  theirs 
now  where  become  are  they  ? 

Where  is  the  rock  on  whom  they  did 
their  expectation  flay  ? 

38  Which  ate  their  facrifices  fat, 
drank  their  wine-offerings  too? 

Let  them  arife,  help  you  and  be 
a  hiding  place  for  you. 

39  See  now  that  I,  even  I  am  he, 
and  there's  no  god  with  me  ? 

I  kill  and  quicken,  wound  and  heal, 
none  from  my  hand  can  free. 

40  For  I  to  heaven  lift  mine  hand, 
and  fay,  I  live  for  aye. 

41  If  my  bright  fword  I  whet,  and  if 
my  hand  on  judgment  ftay. 

Til  render  vengeance  to  my  fo«s, 
I'll  pay  them  that  me  hate.
